Answer

$2$

Work Step by Step

Recall: $$\log_a{b}=y \longleftrightarrow a^y=b$$ Let $y=\log_8{64}$ Use the definition above to obtain: \begin{align*} \log_8{64}&=y\\ 8^y&=64\\ 8^y&=8^2 \end{align*} Use the rule $a^m=a^n\longrightarrow m=n$ to obtain: \begin{align*} 8^y&=8^2\\ y&=2 \end{align*} Thus, $\log_8{64}=2$.
